Just need some knobs and to intonate. I actually threw in some spare pickups that I found around the house and not the pickups that I ordered, I am still waiting on those.
But I'm actually kind of digging the pickups that I threw into it? Squier Fat Telecaster 'humbucker' bridge pickup, and a '51 Nocaster neck pickup. 4 way switching. I have the pickups hiked up pretty high to get the output to be more what I am akin to. Still not quite there compared to my EGCs, but still plays well with my board from the 5 minutes I spent playing through it. The 4 way switching is sweet. I sawed off the 22nd fret on the neck. Kinda goofy, but whatever, I don't like necks that hang over. Just need to find a solid set of knobs.

The finish is nice and thin, I put a few small dents in it here and there accidentally while working on it, but it's pretty cool to see dark masonite beneath and not a lighter wood.

Nice choice. Yeah, obviously, I wouldn't think you'd go for the purps, but you are headed for the sheer awesome.

So when you rocknroll smash Masonite, does it just crumple? What happens if it gets wet?

Haha not sure yet! As far as the guitar goes, this finish that I put on it seems to repel water pretty well. Hoping it holds up
